WHAT Will THE COUNCIL DO
About the Proposed Electric
Line on Salem Avenue?
Is the Question Upperinont In tlie Minds
of Salem Avcnuo Property Holders?
Petition? for uiul Against the J.lue
Who tlio Petitioners Arc?A Hitch L'o
twern Landlords and Tenants.
The stroot railway scorns determined
to secure the right of way for its elec?
tric car lino along Salem avenue
between Commerce and Jeiferson
streets.
The strong opposition by property
owners and business men Interested,
when toe matter was first agitatod, de?
feated the project in the Council, and |
the opposition was Bodeoldodly strong
that the question was apparently
settled.
The Street Railway Company has not
been idle in this matter, and tho names J
of many who were most I Itterly opposed
to the road are on the petition of the
business men. presented at tho Couno 1
meeting Monday night, asking that the
right ot way tie granted tho Stroot Kail
way Company. Some of the names on
the petition were on tho original
petition against the road.
It will be remembered that the pro?
perty owners and business mon on .Salem
avenue were interviewed by a reporter
of TUE TIMES, and a largo majority of
both were strongly opposed to the con?
struction of tho line, glvinglts their
reason tho belief that an electric car
line on so narrow a thoroughfare would
drive business to other par'.s of the city
and decrease the value of property.
s.veral of tho largest property
holders went, so far as to say that they
would contest the matter in the courts
should tlu> Council grant the railway
company the privileges desired.
As reported in yesterday's TlHBS, peti?
tions for and against the car line wore
presented at the Council meeting Tues?
day night and the light is on again with
prospects of being more lively than
ever.
The construction of the line will
necessitate the planting id a line ol
poics on each side of the narrow avenue,
and vehicles cannot be driven on tin
track, as the Trail is to be used.
The following is the petition for the
car line:
"We, the undersigned, your petition?
ers, respectfully request that you recon?
sider your action in refusing to allow
the Itoanoko Street Railway Company
to occupy Salem avenue between Com?
merce and .lelferson streets. We arc
strongly in favor of allowing the railway
company to occupy the street, and be?
lieve it will be a benefit to all parties
theiTun. especially to retail merchant.-.

To the President and members of the
City Council:
We. the undersigned, property owners
of Salem avenue, believing that an oh <>

on account of the narrowness of the
